Examined the nature of sociocognitive growth in 66 kindergarten and
first-grade children by having pairs of children work together to
solve spatial perspective-taking problems. Found that the entering
performance composition of the dyads did not affect cognitive growth,
whereas the construction of shared cognitive experiences in which
children worked together and solved problems did result in cognitive
change. (MDM)
